Overview

Objectives:

The issue of human mobility and its relation to changing spatial structures of cities and regions is in front of researchers´ attention for several reasons. The first crucial emphasis is on environmental impacts of increasing population mobility and car use in metropolitan regions. The newly emerging forms of spatial organization represent a challenge for policy and planning, particularly in relation to environmental sustainability, smart growth, balanced economic development and human quality of life. The issues of social inequalities in everyday mobility represent the second key area of research attention. Mobility is seen as a form of capital which is unevenly distributed in the society. The abilities to move and to choose location of home, work and other activities significantly vary in society and this variation eminently impacts on daily life of individuals and households.
